Online Psychic Readings and Online Tarot Readings

For people who are unable to travel for a face to face session but still prefer a more personal reading, the web-video reading session option is the perfect
alternative because it allows you to experience a psychic reading or tarot reading from the comfort of your own home.

All that is required for online readings is an installation of instant messaging software such as AOL AIM, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger,
Windows Live Messenger, or Skype communications software.

You are not required to have a web camera for your end of the conversation, just headphones and a microphone.

I recommend that people record the sessions, either using the audio recording that is built into the software or capturing the video as well using add-on software that is available for download.

The Psychic Gift

A Brief History
The ability for some individuals to know the unknowable and to foresee the unforeseeable has been documented since the dawn of writing itself. Sumerians in ancient Mesopotamia left evidence in pictograms of the arts of divination almost
three thousand years before the birth of Christ. In the following centuries the inhabitants of Mesopotamia scribed all the collected knowledge of the
many arts of divination in cuneiform on clay tablets. This tells us that for at least
five thousand years mankind has recognized the fact that there are people with gifts that allow them knowledge beyond the scope of what information is available to them. For at least
five thousand years mankind has had a fascination with knowledge of the future and contact with the departed.

For thousands of years the leaders of nations and city-states consulted their
venerated oracles prior to making decisions that would in turn affect the course of
world history. They did this openly at first, and then ever more secretly, as ever increasing stigma was placed upon the arts of divination. Alexander the Great freely consulted oracles
and prognosticators while Queen Elizabeth had favored astrologers and seers whom she conferred with very privately. Very early Christian texts had documented forms of divination not as heretical practices, but as acts of "divinare",
the Latin word meaning to see beyond, to be allowed knowledge by divinity.

Today leaders, facing a far greater scrutiny for holding unconventional beliefs, have abandoned consultation with psychics and oracles. However, in spite of the stigma and skepticism, police agencies the world round acknowledge that they receive valuable tips about cold cases from psychics and in some cases have recruited psychics to aid them in the investigation of cases which are proving unsolvable.

Undeterred by modern skepticism and religious stigma, today hundreds of thousands of people every year consult with psychics,
mediums, and astrologers, seeking to gain insight about the choices that face them or advice about the difficulties with which they are coping.

Is Second Sight Possible?
It's useful to begin by establishing some perspective on what is possible in nature before contemplating what would seem supernatural, to review what
amazing abilities can be found amongst various species that inhabit just this one planet in the vast cosmos. This gives us a sense of what possibilities could exist for us as well
with our five known senses and those not quantified by science. Think of
what other species accomplish without any technology whatsoever, or rather,
using the technology that nature has granted them. Everywhere are insects that
communicate non-verbally but instead biochemically, passing information
throughout a colony almost instantly. Such insects can follow minute pheromone
trails left by other members of their particular colony. Birds have in their
bodies' natural compasses that allow them to recognize the magnetic poles, a
built-in GPS that permits them to follow precise migration paths when they have registered the changes in the seasons. Various insects can see spectra that our own eyes cannot. Dogs and cats have senses of hearing and smell that are many times greater than our own, allowing them to navigate great distances by a cataloging of scents. Their senses are so acute that they are able to see in darkness and to sense approaching earthquakes and storms. There are animals which can instantly change the pigmentation of their entire body in order to blend in with their backgrounds, or generate biochemical luminescence to attract mates or prey.

Humbling is the fact that there are natural miracles all around us that would sound like science fiction if we were just visitors to this world. Some are so astonishing that if they were possessed by some human beings, we might mistakenly categorize them as supernatural. Now with that in mind, we can contemplate what is possible for our own species.

What is the Gift? What is a Psychic?
The psychic gift is often referred to as second sight or use of the third eye because we consider our greatest source of information to be our vision. This is because with all of our other senses we ignore the vast majority of the information that is being received. With sight, our brains do not demote most of the information as being background noise while our minds quickly forget about sounds, smells, and touch sensations that aren't relevant to our fields of focus.

When a psychic gazes at a visual focusing agent such as a crystal ball, an image
on a Tarot card, patterns in candle wax or in sand, in essence they are
performing auto-hypnosis and are placing themselves into a hypnotic state. In a
hypnotic state, the mind is extremely open to suggestion and is receptive to
information without the filtering and interpretation that the conscious mind
performs. This is what allows a hypnotherapist to provide suggestion that
assists a person in removing negative habits from their lives such as smoking or
substance abuse. For the Tarot reader, a partnership exists between the Tarot
cards and the mind. The ordering and the orientation of cards drawn from a deck
are only part of the equation. A reader chooses a deck which "speaks" to them, a
deck that engages their mind fully, with cards that draw their complete
attention, placing them in that hypnotic state. Often readers may have a favored
Tarot deck or may alternate between several decks, choosing the one that speaks
to them the most at a given time or circumstances. The symbols and characters
portrayed on the cards reside in the collective unconscious: archetypes, some
obvious, some subtle, some sources of nearly endless interpretation.

In the state of auto-hypnosis, the psychic becomes the medium, a conduit through which knowledge and information pass. This information can come from any number of sources and each psychic may connect to different sources of information. A clairvoyant is able to see beyond the narrow sliver of time we call "now" and the narrow breadth of distance we call "here" and envision amongst the nearly infinite web of possibilities the events which are probabilities and of those, events which may become inevitabilities. A spirit medium receives information from whatever entities or intelligences are present and these sources of knowledge may also have the capacity to see beyond the here and now, both into the past and into the future.

The Interconnectedness of Things and Events
Consider that which physicists through observation, measurement, and calculation consider the plausible origin of our existence. At the beginning of the cosmos, of time, all the matter that we are, all the matter that surrounds us, all the energy, all the light, the heat, and sound, the forces of gravity and of motion, every molecule in your body, every atom in every molecule, and every subatomic particle within those atoms, all these things existed as one single point of energy and information: not merely all things connected, but all things being one.

Having all shared the same origin, is it possible that some connectivity remains after the cosmos was formed from that single point? Even the emptiness of space, physicists speculate, is full of matter and energy. In essence, everything touches everything else, in both space and in time.

Does the butterfly flapping its wings in South America affect the weather in Central Park and is that butterfly actually part of a system which appears as chaos only due to its complexity? Our individual lives can be chaotic but we are part of a complex system and we are butterflies surrounded by butterflies. A psychic has the ability to sense their wings in motion and to foresee the rain that falls in Central park. They have the ability to stretch their perception out beyond the limits of the five known senses and to tap into the connections that exist between all that was once one.

Infinite possibilities and infinite choices fill every moment of every day of our lives

What is "now"?
Now is a window in time. Now is what is.
The past no longer exists: it is your personal stored memory of a moment, a recording of your senses, your perception
That is the objective past, the absolute past does not exist in any form which we can perceive
The future is a concept, a web of possibilities, some of which become probabilities and of those, some which become realities

Is it possible to see beyond the now?
Is it possible to open that window in time just a little bit wider?

A History of the Tarot

Playing cards first appeared in Europe around the end of the 14th century, with suits quite similar to the tarot suits of Swords, Cups, Staves, and Pentacles. The first
known tarot cards were created between 1430 and 1450 in Milan, Ferrara and Bologna in northern Italy, when additional allegorical illustrations were added to the typical four-suit pack. These new decks were initially
called triumph cards, and the additional cards known simply as trionfi, "trumps" in English.

Though originally intended for the playing of games, divination using playing cards is in evidence as early as 1540 in a book entitled The Oracles of Francesco Marcolino da Forli which allows a simple
method of divination, though the cards are used only to select a random oracle and have no meaning in themselves. Writings from 1735 and 1750 document rudimentary divinatory meanings for the cards of the tarot
as well as a system for laying out the cards.

Tarot cards would eventually become associated with mysticism and magic but they were not widely adopted by seers, mystics,
and occultists until the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1781 a Swiss clergyman Antoine Court de Gébelin published a study that included the topic of the survival of religious symbolisms in the modern world. Gébelin
asserted that the name "tarot" came from the Egyptian words tar, "royal", and ro, "road", and that the Tarot represented a "royal road" to knowledge. He proposed that symbolism of the Tarot de Marseille
represented the mysteries of Isis and Thoth. De Gébelin also asserted that the Romanies, who were among the first to use cards for divination, were descendants of the ancient Egyptians and had introduced the
cards to Europe, though no Egyptian writings discovered so far validate this assertion. Regardless, the identification of the tarot cards with the Egyptian Book of Thoth was firmly established in occult practice
and continues to the present.

French occultist Jean-Baptiste Alliette, in the 1780's, was the first to issue a tarot deck specifically designed for divination rather than game playing. In keeping with the belief that tarot cards are derived
from the Book of Thoth, his tarot contained themes related to ancient Egypt. In the nineteenth century occultist Eliphas Levi attributed the origins of the Tarot to Israel, when he asserted the existence
of a correlation between the Kabbalah and the Tarot. In 1910 Arthur Waite and artist Pamela Coleman Smith produced a Tarot deck that was a culmination of the wisdom of many societies and became an unofficial
standard, the influence of which can be seen in very many modern decks.

Salem's Psychics and Readers

Founded in 1626, Salem Massachusetts
has a rich history as an early center of trade and commerce, an important component during the American Revolution and the War of 1812, and unfortunately as the location of one of the ugliest episodes of injustice
in the nation's history, the Salem witch trials of 1692. Association of the witch with Salem for commercial purposes dates back at least as far as the first half of the 20th century. Dramatization of the witch
trials in Arthur Miller's The Crucible in 1953 revitalized interest in the episode while making a statement about McCarthyism. During the 1960's, at a time when people were rediscovering overshadowed spiritualities
and traditions, individuals were drawn to the "witch city" as a place where they could more openly express their spiritualities. Acceptance of the witch was further increased when the image was used for
entertainment purposes in the 1970's, when several episodes of the TV show Bewitched were filmed in Salem. This exposure expanded tourism significantly and with the cities' rich history, including that of the
dark period of 1692, the curious were drawn from across the country and around the world.

The characterization of the witch became a beacon for actual witches: devotes of Paganism and religions of nature, and practitioners of folk magic. Among these people are found many who have recognized and practiced their
gifts of clairvoyance and mediumship. Over time Wiccan and New Age boutiques
and magick shops appeared in the commercial districts and in many cases they also provided locations from which psychics, readers, and mediums could
provide their services. Today full fledged psychic parlors exist which are dedicated to providing the public access to gifted people. Salem's city government requires that commercial psychics and readers be licensed
and that criteria be met before a license is issued in order to protect the public from those who would exploit those seeking help and guidance.

Updates, Thoughts, and Ramblings

Oct 2010

An amazing October in Salem: festivals, street fairs, performers, vendors and craftspeople, fantasy balls, and tourists from all over the country and world. A blessed Samhain to all!

Apr 2010

I have been granted the opportunity to perform my practices from within Salem's original witches' shop, Crow Haven Corner.
I am grateful to once again be able to both provide my services to people and at
the same time contribute to people's enjoyment of the "Salem experience".
Clients now have the option of scheduling readings with me there.

Mar 2010

I am very
much looking forward to working with the wonderful people of Angelica of the Angels, teaching classes, giving readings, making unique items for their shop.

Jan 2010

It is really rewarding being able to help people who take the time to come to me. Sometimes those who are
interested in a psychic reading just want to satisfy their curiosity, want to have the experience and see what
it's all about, and sometimes even they wind up with tears, hugging me and thanking me. It's the people who come to
me with troubled minds, aching hearts, and burdened souls, those with whom I gladly spend extra time to be sure that
their questions are answered to the best of my abilities as a psychic and as a counselor, it's those people who in
turn give me the greatest sense of purpose and fulfillment as a psychic reader and spirit medium.

Jan 2010

I am really enjoying performing online psychic readings using my web camera.
I like that I'm not just a voice on a telephone and that I can show the tarot cards to the person for whom I am performing a tarot reading.
I also like it when the video chat is two way, so that I can see if what I'm telling them is upsetting them and if I need to give them a moment.
I don't sugar coat what the tarot cards or the spirits or whatever is communicating to me, but I prefer not to overwhelm people.
When a person is overwhelmed they stop accepting the information.

Jan 2010

This is kind of cool, I was (very briefly) quoted in an article on the Huffington Post: Christians, Pagans
Compete (Gently) For Salem's Souls
I like the quote that they picked, it captures my humility. It's not for me to say that one belief system is better or more correct than another.
Religions are practiced by people and people are flawed, all people.
It seems like anyone who doesn't honestly and openly acknowledge their flawdness is more likely to cause their own unhappiness and cause unhappiness for people around them.
I think a lot of people could really do with just a little more humility, the people that use the words "I", "me", and "mine" much of the time.
I really don't like to use the phrase "my abilities" because I did not create what I have, I merely recognized the gifts that I was allowed and focused on them.

Jan 2010

A sign of the times in which we live: more and more people looking for house blessings, blessings of prosperity and protection.
